Erdmann Corporation Fabri-Valve Ductile Iron Knife Gate Valve C45

The basic Fabri-Valve C45 features a solid ductile iron or carbon steel body with an integral cast metal seat. However, this valve is most often used with the patented, pop-in style replaceable seats, which are available in a variety of rubbers, polyurethane, UHMW-P, TFE, and hard-faced metal. The pop-in seats feature a much larger cross section and seating area than conventional knife gate valve seats thus providing a seating surface far removed from the flow stream. Replaceable seats offer a unique advantage; abrasion resistance, long seat life, and the convenience of easy seat replacement. All Figure C45 knife gate valves with handwheels include a provision for a locking device. CAUTION: (Replaceable soft seats) Review Fabri-Valve gasket/mating flange recommendations.
